[Traditional Chinese](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditional_Chinese_characters) is used within Chinese Taipei (and in Hong Kong). Neither is a Party to the Agreement, although the latter attends ACAP meetings as an Observer in the capacity of a Member Economy of the Asia-Pacific Economic Forum ([APEC](https://www.apec.org/)). China and Chinese Taipei both have fisheries that interact with ACAP-listed species, notably through its high-seas longline fisheries for tuna in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Chinese Taipei is a member (as the Fishing Entity of Taiwan) of the Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna ([CCSBT](https://www.ccsbt.org/en)) and (as the fishing entity of Chinese-Taipei) of the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission ([WCPFC](https://www.wcpfc.int/)). China is a Contracting Party to the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission ([IOTC](https://iotc.org/)) and to the WCPFC. All these Regional Fisheries Management Organizations that manage high-seas tuna stocks ([tRFMOs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_fishery_body)) have adopted seabird bycatch mitigation measures that apply to their member states and entities. ACAP has made its [Seabird Bycatch Mitigation Fact Sheets](https://acap.aq/resources/bycatch-mitigation/mitigation-fact-sheets) and [ACAP Seabird Bycatch ID Guide](https://acap.aq/resources/bycatch-mitigation/seabird-bycatch-id-guide) available in both Simplified and Traditional Chinese. It is hoped the photo posters can be used within China and Chinese Taipei, as elsewhere by Asian high-seas fisheries, in increasing awareness of the conservation plight being faced by albatrosses and petrels.
